I had to format my pc due to virus issues....I reinstalled everything ok but when I went to patch UO via the normal process it popped up with an error saying that a file was corrupt on a remote server...  can ANYONE please help me???

I have tried 2 times to fix it plus changed instillation drive and directories.

I am going to try again...  If it happens again....which it will...I will post the exact details in the error notification!!!

Once Again...PLEASE HELP!!!!


UPDATE:

Unconfirmed fix...

Uninstall UO, disk cleanup, restart, disk defrag, restart, reinstall uo

Could possible be that the virus is still running wild?
Try a free online virus scanner, http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ use this one for example.. Just did a big of a googling but it should do the trick
(will atleast tell you if you still have the virus or not)

Well folks I have resolved the issue.  It was a virus and it was a deep rooted one.

Thanks for your suggestion NollKoll, I used a microsoft virus scanner to root it out.  Will post the info later for others.

But after 3 deep formats and a whole lot of crying (cos thats what I did), I am patched up and ready to go.

See you all ingame soon.

Awesome, some viruses sure are pesky.. Handled with alot of em, *sigh*.. its both a blessing and a curse if your familiar with PC's, in the term that neighbours know about that aswell..
Those corrupting ones are really tricky, easy to know you got one most of the time, but tricky to remove.

Glad it works now!
